Richard Paul Evans
As we walk our individual life journeys, we pick up resentments and hurts, which attach themselves to our souls like burrs clinging to a hiker's socks.

Love is never convenient-and rarely painless
Richard Paul Evans
It's our memories that make us who we are. Without them, we're nothing. If that means we have to hurt sometimes, it's worth it.
